Program Calendar
Our programs are led by the Community Support Programs team and facilitated by highly trained staff and volunteers. We offer a variety of Bereavement Support Groups for anyone experiencing the loss of a loved one, as well as Day Programs for those living with a life limiting illness and their caregivers. The programs we offer are for registered clients. This support is available whether or not you have had previous contact with Hospice Simcoe.
If you are interested in one of our groups or programs, please contact our team at 705-725-1140.
Hospice Simcoe does not charge for our programs and services. We rely on donations, including in memoriam gifts, general donations and third party events for 50% of our operating costs. It is thanks to our generous community that we can continue to provide these programs at no cost.
